Distinguish between author and committer in merge request commits tab

Problem to Solve

With the introduction of #29211 (closed), authors of suggested changes are now recognized as the author and the person who applies the suggestion is recognized as the committer.

This creates confusion on the commits tab of the merge request:

Marcel is listed as the author (correctly), but it's also shown in the commits tab which implies that they were also the committer of the change.

Proposal

The commits tab in the merge request should be extended to show both the author and committer of changes to the merge request. This would be consistent with how the commit is viewed outside of the merge request:
